Background
Oxfam in Bangladesh has been implementing programme titled “Resilience through Economic Empowerment, Climate Adaptation, Leadership and Learning (REECALL - 2021)” in different agri-ecological zones of Char, Haor and Costal areas. REE-CALL - 2021 is intended for a) Economic empowerment and women leadership, b) DRR, Climate action and resilient WASH, c) Active citizenship and influencing for the greater wellbeing of vulnerable women and men of these areas. In this context, the ‘Project Direct’, under the REE-CALL programme aims to make a resilient community and address existing crisis and problem of water, sanitation and hygiene and make the investment sustainable and resilient. The project works to ensure that women and adolescent girls in rural Bangladesh enjoy access to safe water, improved sanitation and decent work through reducing WASH and work related gender inequality. As water and sanitation facilities in Bangladesh have always been remained as a challenge due to the recurrent and intensifying impacts of disaster and climate change, in the south-western coastal region of the country, the situation is particularly very challenging as safe drinking water scarcity is acute. Salinity has been the single most significant problem in south-west areas in terms of major hydro-geophysical and social problem. On the other hand, in the northern districts where flood and river erosion are common natural disasters occurring every year making most of the people vulnerable in terms of water, sanitation and hygiene especially during monsoon. Given that the gendered implications of such phenomena are very critical: the adolescent girls and women suffer from ill health due to mismanagement of menstrual hygiene. Moreover, the adolescent girls and women invest significant time to transport safe water for consumption from long distances.
